METHOD OF PRODUCING A CERMET-CONTAINING BUSHING FOR AN IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE - One aspect relates to a method for producing an electrical bushing for an implantable medical device. The method includes generating an insulation element green compact for an insulation element from an insulating composition of materials. The insulation element green compact is partially sintered. At least one cermet-containing conduction element green compact for a conduction element is formed. The at least one conduction element green compact is introduced into the insulation element green compact. The insulation element green compact and the at least one conduction element green compact are fired to obtain an insulation element with at least one conduction element.

STRUCTURING THREE-DIMENSIONAL COMPONENTS WITH NON-DIFFUSING NOBLE OR SPECIAL METALS AND THEIR ALLOYS, WITH USE BEING MADE OF SPUTTER TECHNOLOGY - One aspect is a method for the production of a three-dimensional structure of successive layers producing a multitude of successive layers wherein, with the exception of a first layer, each of the successive layers is arranged on a preceding layer. Each of the successive layers includes at least two materials wherein one material is a sacrificial material and one material is a structure material. Each of the successive layers defines a successive cross-section through the three-dimensional structure. Producing each of the layers includes depositing the sacrificial material by means of an electrochemical process and depositing the structure material by means of physical gas phase deposition. After a multitude of successive layers has been produced, the three-dimensional structure is uncovered by removing at least a part of the sacrificial material. The sacrificial material is at least one of a group consisting of nickel, silver, palladium, and gold.
